Before retaking the college entrance exam, Gu Yu was drawn into a series of murders twice.

The first time was when he was six and his mother was murdered.

The second time was when he was nineteen. The mother of the person he loved most died right in front of him, but afterward he couldn't remember what had happened that day at all.

Faced with Lu Huan's relentless questioning, the two eventually parted on bad terms.

Seven years passed in the blink of an eye.

When Gu Yu stood outside the Tianjing Municipal Public Security Bureau once again, everything had changed beyond recognition.

Only Lu Huan remained like an "equals sign" that would never move,

still resenting him and thinking of him as before...

The Lu Huan who had once loved him deeply was never coming back.

Blurb:

Sinking deep into the mire, slipping through the dark of night.

A shadowy rose blooms in midsummer.

On the day Meng Huai transferred to the Lan Hai City Public Security Bureau, a man was transferred there from the provincial department.

He was parachuted straight into the criminal investigation team and made Meng Huai's immediate superior.

Meng Huai arrived late because of a meeting at the provincial department. As soon as he stepped onto the sixth floor, he ran straight into Jiang Muchuan, the so-called "nepotism hire who'd been parachuted in."

Meng Huai looked up, momentarily stunned, then politely nodded and quickly stepped aside.

Jiang Muchuan, however, froze in place, thoughtful.

From that day on, Meng Huai started receiving all sorts of "harassment" from Jiang Muchuan...

"Deputy Meng, are you an only child?"

"What's it to you?"

"Meng Huai, you really look like someone I've met before."

Jiang Muchuan leaned in and studied Meng Huai's face closely.

Meng Huai rolled his eyes, unable to put up with him any longer, and slapped the case report into Jiang Muchuan's arms, thinking he was just making trouble for no reason.

"Captain Jiang, we've never met. There's no need to wonder."

Until Meng Huai was dragged into a transnational criminal organization and saw a face almost identical to his own on the surveillance footage...
